my father was 470lbs when he got his gastric bypass and is now down to 195lbs and believe it or not he has no extar skin i asked him if he had the extra skin removed and he said no he just exercised like the doctor told him he has a little excess skin but nowhere anything like what are in some of these videos

@jenncutt85 your father is a very lucky man.

I wish I could watch some of your videos!! GarbageTube (YouTube) is messing with this HTML5 crap. I got to watch the first 30 seconds of your video, so they can't tell me the browser isn't compatible. I work at a place that blocks downloads from the only place I can download the HTML5 plugins since Google doesn't offer it anywhere else. Either way, I hope you're doing well. I am considering surgery myself and am doing research on after effects.

@SarahWillBeSkinny not really, his father followed the docs instructions. My sister had the same thing done, she was 550 pounds and shes down to 180 and has ZERO excess skin. She followed the docs and dietitians exercise plan and she came out looking great. But you have to follow it to a T from what i'm told

i was expecting her to be flying around with great giant flaps of skin :(

Just say what you have to say jesus... You take like 3 years to get to the point :/

I know how you feel about the extra skin . I am 7 years out this March and I am still not sure how to deal with that part of it. I lost 150 pounds but, I really wish I did not have the skin. You can not tell when I am dress.People tell me I look really good, but I always think about what they can't see...You are Great...

@GastricBypassBarbie I am so so glad that you have such a loving, considerate and might i add wise husband. Wow what a comment and support. Although i would prefer a tummy tuck (had one in TJ) rather than the loose skin, others would not. I would like to encourage you tho to at least wear a compression garment, even one that is not totally strict or uncomfortable as that might defeat the purpose. But one that you can love the way you feel and look so you do not feel the jiggles 805-236-0622
